Believe it or not, but to my great joy, and for those who appreciate science, it has been scientifically validated that hugging trees is actually good for you. The vibrational properties of trees and plants give us health benefits. The answer to how plants and trees affect us physiologically turns out to be very simple, it is all to do with the fact that everything vibrates in a subtle manner, and different vibrations affect biological behaviors. The best part is you do not even have to hug the tree, just being close to one gives you a vibrational boost.
